Women's Murder Club

By far!!

Well, there is also Life, but it's starting to lose its quality (can I smell NBC interfering with it?)

But back to Women's Murder Club. The show is very well written, has interesting plots and intriguing character.

The casting is decent enough, especially Laura Harris, and most important it is extremely well shot. On HD, it is a sight to behold.

The directing is also pretty good, especially that they are not shaking the camera around so you can actually see what's going on.

Overall, in a super-disappointing season (see Bionic Woman, Chuck, Journeyman, and so forth) Women's Murder Club shines.

This is one of the few decent shows of the new season.

It's very well-written, has an attractive cast and directors that don't shake the camera for no reason.

What more would you want? Just those facts alone make it one of the best new shows on TV this year.

It's actually engaging, has interesting characters and it's a pleasure to watch it.

The only drawback is the awful title, which ABC would be well-inspired to change into "Murder Club".

Otherwise, thumbs WAY up in a season of Bionic Women and Pushing Daisies.

I thought there were more than enough murder shows on TV with all the CSIs and Law & Orders, etc.. But I like Angie Harmon, so I gave this new show a shot. I was really impressed with the twist of the "women's club" -- A basic stereotype is that men are more emotionally detached, so they can better deal with the horrifying nature of this kind of police work. This show places women in these hard roles, with all their emotions still running. That causes a different dynamic, allows for a new twist on the homicide scene. WMC ends most episodes with these 4 women gathering to check in with one another, to deal with the emotional difficulties of the job and life in general. It adds a soft touch, shows the harsh reality of the homicide beat, and makes the characters more real and likable.

This is a police crime procedural. The special thing here is that all the main characters are female friends. They work together to solve crimes. Cindy Thomas (Aubrey Dollar) is a newspaper cub reporter trying to break in. Lindsay Boxer (Angie Harmon) is the hard nosed homicide detective. Claire Washburn (Paula Newsome) is the medical examiner. Jill Bernhardt (Laura Harris) is a young assistant district attorney. The four form the Women's Murder Club.

As a police procedural, it has the all the prerequisites. The actresses do a great job. All of them fit their characters very well. There isn't anything especially memorable. There is something odd about relating murder investigations like a weeknight book club. That aspect is a little bit unfortunate.

I have read all the Women's Murder Club books and like them but I think this show is even better than the books. Am I the only one who does not care for Laura Harris' acting? She seems so stilted and uncomfortable. Always putting her hands in her pockets like she doesn't know what to do with them, smiling at inappropriate moments as though she's uncomfortable with the camera on her. I love the other characters and even though it seems like Lindsey was a blond in the books...Angie Harmon is perfect for the part. She is great. Hope this show stays on for seasons. This and Boston Legal are the only reasons I ever watch ABC.
